Prevention of coronary heart disease pay attention to these 5 points
1, pay attention to the cold to keep warm
Winter room temperature should not be lower than 18 ℃, the elderly and patients with coronary heart disease should be increased by another 2 ℃ to 3 ℃. Patients with coronary heart disease in winter should always pay attention to weather changes and add clothing in a timely manner. When indoors, you should avoid opening the doors and windows too wide to prevent cold air stimulation induced angina and myocardial infarction.
2.Nap prevention
(1) nap time to about 1 hour is appropriate, too long and too short are not appropriate. After getting up, first in bed for light activities, slowly sit up, used in the precordial area, chest for 5-10 minutes massage, and then get out of bed and drink a glass of water.
(2) Sleeping position should be taken with head high and feet low, right side lying, in order to reduce the pressure on the heart and prevent snoring, it should be noted that sitting position and ambulatory sleep are harmful, which will aggravate the brain hypoxia.
(3) Do not eat greasy food before going to bed and do not eat too much. Too full will affect the normal contraction and diastole of the heart; greasy food will increase blood viscosity, aggravating coronary artery disease.
(4) should not lie down immediately after lunch to sleep, because at this time a large amount of blood flow to the stomach, blood pressure drops, the brain oxygen supply and nutrition dropped significantly, easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Generally should rest 20 minutes after eating.
(5) suffering from hypertension, before going to bed avoid taking blood pressure drugs, because the blood pressure drops when sleeping, can make the heart, brain, kidneys and other major organs insufficient blood supply, and clotting substances platelets attached to the blood vessel wall caused by thrombosis, resulting in ischemic stroke occurred.
3, adjust the diet structure
The cold climate in winter, people generally drink less water, easy to make the blood concentration, increasing the burden on the heart. Patients with coronary heart disease should drink more water in the cold season and eat more light foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients, such as vegetables, fruits, fish and lean meat. Avoid eating too much, don’t eat fatty meat, eat less animal offal, and don’t drink a lot of wine, especially strong wine to keep the cold, so as not to increase the burden on the heart. Of course, the New Year’s Day drink a moderate amount of wine is not uncommon.
4, appropriate tonic as needed
Coronary heart disease patients on the issue of tonic, should follow the principle of “can be supplemented can not be supplemented in general, can food tonic do not medicine tonic”. Some patients with coronary heart disease who are physically weak and have just recovered from a serious illness can appropriately use Chinese herbs such as Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Astragali, Radix et Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix et Rhizoma Lycii, Radix et Rhizoma Tianma, Cordyceps Sinensis, and foods such as mutton, silver fungus, walnuts, quail eggs, and yams for tonic purposes.
The body temperature of myocardial infarction patients is 1℃～2℃ lower than normal people, and they will have symptoms such as fear of cold, unheated limbs and depression in winter, so they can use warming tonic such as red ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma, cinnamon, angelica, dried ginger, cinnamon, walnut meat, etc. for tonic.
5, keep the bowels open
Too much force in defecation will make the intra-abdominal pressure higher, increased return blood flow, increased heart load, easy to induce angina and myocardial infarction. Patients with coronary heart disease should develop good bowel habits, and should consciously eat more food containing fiber (especially crude fiber), such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, grains and other grains. Once constipation occurs, do not force a bowel movement, but should be improved through diet or medication.
In addition, many people like to read books and newspapers while defecating, which is actually a very bad habit, easy to form habitual constipation, coronary heart disease patients in particular should be avoided.
What are the causes of coronary heart disease?
1, age and gender (men over 45 years old, women over 55 years old or after menopause).
2. Family history (father and brother died of heart disease before the age of 55, mother/sister died of heart disease before the age of 65).
3, Dyslipidemia (high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol).
4, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, gout, and inactivity.
If you have frequent angina pectoris, chest pressure and suffocation, stuffiness, severe burning pain, pain attacks, accompanied by symptoms such as weakness, sweating, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness and fine pulse, and wet, cold, gray skin, you need to go to a cardiovascular specialist hospital for further examination as soon as possible.
